ONEOK - Lateral H-06 Station: Oil Extraction Facility in Ulysses, Kansas

ONEOK - Lateral H-06 Station is an oil extraction facility situated in Ulysses, Grant County, Kansas, United States. The facility is operational and plays a role in the regional oil production infrastructure, contributing to the broader energy supply chain in the central United States. The facility operates under the regulatory framework of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), including the Clean Air Act (CAA) and applicable state-level regulations in Kansas. Oil extraction facilities in this region typically employ conventional drilling and production techniques, with a focus on efficient resource recovery and environmental compliance. As part of ONEOK's network, this station supports the gathering and processing of crude oil from local wells. Its location in the Hugoton Embayment area, a significant oil and gas producing region, underscores its importance to local energy markets. The facility's operations are integrated with downstream infrastructure, ensuring reliable delivery of crude oil to refineries and end users.

The facility is situated in the High Plains region of Kansas, an area characterized by semi-arid climate and agricultural land use. Oil extraction activities here involve potential risks such as groundwater contamination from drilling fluids and produced water, as well as air emissions from equipment. Spill prevention and containment measures are critical given the proximity to agricultural resources. The facility's compliance with EPA regulations, including Spill Prevention, Control, and Countermeasure (SPCC) rules, helps mitigate these environmental impacts.
